Blue and Green Scraps

I am cleaning out my scraps/unfinished projects and wondered if anybody wants these string blocks and a bag of blue and green strips to make more? These blocks are 16.5" and there’s 3 of them. The bag probably has enough strips to make a few more blocks if you wanted too, or if not you could sew these blocks together and make a runner or something. To make these blocks I used this tutorial except my paper size was 8.5" square.

Anyways leave a comment with your email if you really think you’d use them. If there’s more than one person I’ll pick someone randomly tomorrow night. But beware…I was really trying not to swear while tearing the paper off, so there’s little bits of paper here and there still on the back. So you have to promise that you won’t send me hate emails. :)

I love those squares! They're beautiful and I would love to add them to our house in some form. I think a table runner would be beautiful from those with the extra strips (and that aqua color is what I've been using on our table). You're work is always beautiful - love the blog!

Are you kidding! I would love to have these and I won't complain as I finish picking off the paper. Seriously! :) Love the colors and can see pillows, a table runner, oh geez, all kinds of things. Thanks! ;)

I'll put those blocks to good use! I promise! I'm totally addicted to quilting and have this thing with having to use up scraps and whats in my stash, so I definitely wouldn't have it laying around for too long!

Who could send hate mail over a generous gift? Pure silliness, I say. They are so pretty adn if you'd be willing to part with them, I know a living room where they and their counterpart scraps would be lovely.

A friend of yours recommended your blog and it's darling. What fabulous stuff you do! I'd love to have you guest post on Bloom--a blog I co-edit(placetobloom.blogspot.com). If you're interested, shoot me an email: aplacetobloom AT gmail DOT com.

Thanks,Anne

(sorry for the craay long comment--couldn't find your email. and don't worry about entering me in the giveaway!)

I have been eyeing all these string quilts I see on the blogs I follow and I would LOVE to finish your project. It would be the perfect way to try a new pattern and the perfect motivation to finish it. No hate emails ever!

If you check my blog, I really do have a string quilt in the works....honestly:) Your blocks would come in handy, not to mention some scraps....I'm crossing my fingers Allison!Thanks for a great giveaway...and I promise not to send you hate emails:)jodym7@yahoo.com

Oh my....hate them? hate you? Never! I'm doing my own string quilt...don't mind tearing the paper and would love to find these cuties and their friends in my mailbox! Thanks for the chance to win such lovely blocks and fabric!

wow these are so pretty. I would love to have these (as does everyone else apparently!) I have seen so many string blocks... maybe in 2010. Is this one way to finish off those UFO's by the end of 09? give them away?!! LOL

Can you believe you got this many comments on wanting those beautiful fabrics! I love them and don't mind picking out paper. I've been wanting to make a string quilt and was going to be checking out ginger monkey's tutorial.

I'm making one much the same at the moment, free download from Amy Butler's site and similiar colours. In the pattern you don't use paper but you sew the strips onto a fabric backing (fine cotton etc) its easy and no paper tearing afterwards! Obviously it will be slightly heavier to quilt (I'll be sending mine to a commercial quilter!...lol) great blog by the way :)
